"A Why in the Road" can anyone relate?

A Why In the Rode

Have we lost Hope in us?

Did we let that fire of passion grow cold with age?

Should we, at the least, keep our love warm with the fires of memory?

Or do some memories cool all fires into regrets?

We now stand before this mystery door.

We both hope the other will Love the other enough to give the other what the other hopes for.

We can't give you what you want.

We can't give me what I want.

Our directions are no longer the same path.

We can't see the same finish line.

Yes, we did build a beautiful castle, of sand.

But, the waves of time has washed away that " forever after plan".

We both now carry a heavy load.

We both now face a why in the road.

    `Where there is a Goodwill, there is a Goodway

    and where there is a `Why?`, there`s a `Why ask?`

    The sands nor lime these truths cannot corrode, nor o`er-ride

    the humility to seek further , not forgot. Thus, see the task.

    For while one looks at a finish line

    the other sees `Now` opportunities

    To put things to rights, which to some were wrongly done

    by just not driving left, to offer them, a better lot.

    No use to ask the `Why?`, one learns

    for all through, the task is `How?` .

    Better than wilful and wayward

    the road to help some better evolve, begins as ever with `Now`.

    TY for helping me express this.

    I relate to the entire poem and VERY (man, I wish we could use italics) strongly to the line "Or do some memories cool all fires into regrets?"

    I cut my meat with a knife and why.

    Nice play on the word Why

    Mr. Ripple

    Is nice having you back with your

    thoughtful pieces.

    Very good. If you have a chance check

    out Poets.org, you might say "I can write

    that" and I think you could.

    Great poem.

    But mysteries can provide passion as well as cooling. Sheba, Bathsheba, etc, women who wore simple but translucent dancing costumes knew this well.
